As a guide our fees for acting for an executor and dealing with an uncontested full administration will usually range between £1,500.00 and £5,000.00 plus VAT and disbursements. Our fees are calculated using a combination of an hourly rate of between £175.00 and £201.00 plus 1.5% of the net residuary estate and 0.75% of the net value of any residence (in accordance with the Law Society’s Guidance) Before undertaking any work, we offer a free initial appointment at which we will give you an initial estimate of our likely costs. Disbursements are costs related to your case that are payable to 3^rd parties and include items such as

• Probate Court fee of £155.00 plus £1.50 per copy of the Grant
• Bankruptcy Search of £2.00 per beneficiary

The cost of dealing with the sale or transfer of any property in the estate is not included. What is included is :

• Dealing with HMRC and the Probate Registry to obtain the Grant, collect assets, settle liabilities and prepare full estate Accounts
